Answer to Question 1

ANS: B, D
The population of ethnic minorities is expected to reach 50 by the year 2050, which increases the need for culturally competent health care. One in five people will be over the age of 65 by 2030, increasing the impact of chronic illnesses. Hispanics, blacks, Asians, and Native Americans are the historically designated minority groups. There is no biologic basis for race; racial and ethnic categories are socially created.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: A, B, E
The public health intervention model is an inclusive framework that encompasses three levels at which interventions can be initiated, from the micro-level of the individual to the macro-level environment. Interventions are targeted toward individuals/families, communities, and larger institutional and societal systems. Government and hospitals are not one of the three levels.
